Editorial: Obamacare, the ultimate job killer
Published on November 24, 2012

Total: ~6,000+ jobs

Of course, the latest is causing quite a stir. Hostess, maker of the ever-love Twinkie, is closing their doors and letting 18,500 employees go. This has hit America’s obese population like a sugar brick. Unfortunately, they have no one to blame but themselves and their votes. While the headlines read that labor negations are to blame, the bigger story is an uncertain economy and new taxation. Part of the increased labor cost is Obamacare, and as a result the union was asked to reduce benefits and/or employee hours. Instead, another company cannot financially succeed in a nation of increased tax burden. It appears that once again, actions, like supporting “free” healthcare, results in consequences, the reality that nothing is ever free.

What does this all mean? Simply by being reelected, this president has already cost thousands of Americans their jobs. Instead of building the economy back, it is getting worse.

Greedy Hussein voters.

Thank roberts and then the GOP. We had an opportunity and now it’s lost, even more so now because the GOP is now clammering to kiss the ring of the fraud and falling over each other to be the first to work across the isle. We have no representation just a loser party that wants to be just like the rat party. I am starting to believe thier playing us and working together for thier common goal.

Republicans had several candidates who could have made obamacare the huge issue that it is, to run against obama, instead they opted for the author of obamacare.

Ignorant Americas have destroyed themselves and they are so ignorant they still do not understand what they have done. And they don't give a shi!.

You gave your government to the liberals America.

Time to resurrect that old saying, “If you think that healthcare is expensive now, wait until you see how much it is going to cost when it’s ‘free’.” We’re all about to find out. What’s left in your wallet?

The hit will come in 2014 when millions who have lost their insurance from their employers find they cannot afford private insurance, make too much to qualify for Medicaid and the much vaunted health care exchanges have yet to be implemented or funded. With no health insurance these millions will be hit with the Obamacare “tax” despite having no affordable health insurance alternatives. Obamacare will not solve the problem of people without health insurance it will drastically increase their number.

No sh*t!
